thank you, ken. you know the momentum switch in this series is clearly tangible right now. as you said they have staved off elimination and at this point, it's all even. the cardinals if you hadn't notice ready the ones staving off elimination. let's look at some of the early highlights. you could tell off the bat that ryan vogelsong had it going. he comes out and strikes out the side in the very first inning to squelch any idea that the cardinals might have of getting off to a quick start atch and vogelsong went on to a career-high 9 strike-outs. pablo sandoval with a shot to deep centerfield wound up with a 2-base hit and the giants because marco scutaro walked ahead of him were in good

shape. runners at 2nd and 3rd. buster posey hits a grounder to 3rd and they challenge it. the grounder to freese winds up with a play and giants take the 1-0 lead. in the 2nd, they continue offensively. vogelsong with the fake bunt hit the ground and they can't come up with. the giants have another you run. 12-0. marco scutaro. how many times can this guy come through? clutch hit again down the left- field line. two runs score and that includes ryan vogelsong motoring from 1st base to make it 4-0. if that wasn't good enough, pablo sandoval just out of reach of descalso and the giants are out in front to the

tune of 5-0. the way ryan vogelsong was throwing had you a comfortable feeling about this ballgame. with the way that vogelsong had things under control that tough cardinal line-up, it was a good victory for the giants. but their work isn't complete, although one felt secure very early onment we'll have some guests very soon, but we'll send it back to the desk. >> dominating performance by ryan vogelsong. >> at&t only holds 41,000 and change and so there were a lot of fans had to find is someplace else to watch the action. >> out in mccovey's a lot of people gathered. >> reporter: heather and ken, it's still very wild and very loud in here right now. you can see they are so excited. now this is a wonderful spot to

enjoy the game. many of people here are regulars and say if you can't be at the game, you have to be here at mccovey's in walnut creek. the energy has been consistent throughout here. people having a great time, cheering. a lot of extra seats here family-style. so you really get to know the people next to you. it's quite eye crowd out here. i have annie thompson from walnut creek, a huge fan. what did you think of the game tonight? >> i loved it! it was so much energy. it was incredible. vogey did such a great job for us tonight. i loved it! >> reporter: a lot of people come out here for every postseason game. what do you think about the energy here at mccovey's? >> there is no better energy except for being at the game. it's great. so i love. it i live here, right up the street. i
